Mortgage Broker
With a several years’ experience in financial planning and wealth management, Jonathan made the move to become a mortgage broker to help other Australians buy real estate and build the life they want.
Having built a solid property investment portfolio in his own right, he has long recognised that the biggest challenge in building wealth in real estate is getting approved for a home loan that best suits your long term goals.
Jonathan truly is a home loan expert that will keep in close contact with you, from your initial enquiry through to settlement and beyond. Your success is his success.

Kudos to Jonathan and Uttam for their great services ! They are very professional, knowledgeable, very patience to any of our queries/request and fast reply to our email. This is our first time dealing with broker for home loan and we were surprised that they made the whole process much simple and efficient for us. They even put our matter on high priority and rushed the bank to have our loan document ready in very short notice as my husband will be overseas. We are very happy with the recommended home loan package and will definitely use their service again and highly recommend them !

From my first phone call with Jonathan I knew we were in the right hands. Jonathan from Home Loan Experts was incredibly professional and efficient. He gave us many options (where another mortgage broker we were dealing with prior to Jonathan had not) and found the very best product for our needs. I honestly could not recommend Jonathan highly enough. Once our loan was approved the process through to settlement was so smooth, with Sam (the loan processing officer) keeping us thoroughly informed. If you are looking at refinancing, call them. We could not be happier.
